5. FIRST FOOTER-- referring to the first person to set foot in your house New Year's Day. (We won't have anybody coming into this house today, other than when I went out to get the newspaper earlier today. We are going over to a friend's house to watch some Bowl games later. I think some others will beat us over there so we'll be second or third footers.)
4. NOTHING SHOULD LEAVE THE HOUSE-- (We're leaving it later.)
3. LAY LOW AND DO NOTHING-- For some, that is a necessity after the night before. But as Liz and I get older, that isn't such a problem. The big problem is staying up until midnight New Year's Eve.)
2. EAT, EAT1-- Food that is supposed to have good things if you eat it today:
GRAPES-- eat one for each month
PORK-- pigs root forward, a good omen
BLACK-EYED PEAS-- you'll get a buck for each one
LENTILS-- resemble coins
GREENS-- resemble money
(We'll be eating the Black-eyed peas and summer sausage.)
1. WHAT YOU DO NEW YEAR'S DAY, YOU WILL DO ALL YEAR-- (We'll be drinkin', eatin' and enjoying friends. I can live with that."
So, Now You Know. --DaCoot
